Territory Account Manager – Cell Culture Media & Services (East Coast & Midwest, USA)

OPM Biosciences is a rapidly expanding cell culture media and CDMO services provider with a strong global footprint. As the first cell-culture media company publicly traded in China, OPM is now scaling its commercial presence in the United States—supporting biopharma, cell- and gene-therapy, vaccine, and biologics scientists with next-generation CHO and HEK293 products & services.

This position will also cover select Midwestern and Great Lakes states (including IL, IN, MI, OH, WI, MN, and TX), with close coordination and smooth hand-off to the West Coast Territory Manager for national opportunities.

· Experience with CRM and sales tools such as HubSpot, Salesforce, Sales Navigator and LinkedIn.
